B RAID WOOD UNIT 1, CYCLE 5 OPERATING LIMIT REPORT - Fxy PORTION This Radial Peaking Factor Limit Report is provided in accordance with paragraph 6.9.l.9 of the Braidwood Unit i Nuclear Plant Technical Specifications.

The Fxy limits for RATED TilERMAL POWER within specified core planes for Cycle 5 shall be:

a: For the lower core region from greater than or equal to 0% to less than or equal to 50%:

1) For all core planes containing bank "D" control rods:

Psy 13.374

2) For all un-rodded core planes:

fey' 11.761 b: For the upper core region from greater than 50% to less than or equal to 100%:

1) For all core planes containing bank "D" control rods:

Fly 12.195

2) For all unrodded core planes:

Fly 11.772 These Fxy(z) limits were used to confirm that the heat flux hot channel factor FQ(z) will be limited to the Technical Specification values of FQ(z)_<_ [ 21][K(z)] for P>0.5 and P

FQ(z)_s [5.00][K(z)] for Ps0.5 assuming the most limiting axial power distributions expected to result from the insertion and removal of control Banks C and D during operation, including the accompanying variations in the axial xenon and power distributions as described in the " Power Distribution Control and Load .

Following Procedures," WCAP-8403, September 1974. Therefore, these Fxy limits provide assurance that the initial conditions assumed in the LOCA analysis and the ECCS acceptance l criteria of 10 CFR 50.46 are met. l l
